The world as we know it will never be the same. The air is filled with smoke and screams. Gunfire is in the distance. The virus that caused so many people to die is not finished. The dead have risen. It is the Zombie Apocalypse.

In this scenario, would you be prepared? The answer, most likely is no. If you want to avoid a major decomposition problem and a craving for human brains, there are a few provisions that are necessary for survival.

It depends. If your home or apartment can be defended from the continuous onslaught of hoards of the undead (aka Zombies, Walking Dead, Ghouls, the Dead) there are a few necessary provisions that you will need.

Defend yourself (aka Z-Fense)

Few facts are known about the undead (Patients that communicate by snapping their jaws and moaning are difficult to converse with). We can assume that there are universal laws that apply to Zombies. First, their sense of smell and hearing are amplified. Since the undead can neither feel nor see very well, their sense of smell and hearing compensate. One must consider this when choosing a weapon. A crossbow would work, but it is cumbersome to reload. The best longer range Zombie defense option would be a gun. The issue with guns is that they are loud. It is like a dinner bell to Zombies; the solution; more ammo.

Hatchet - The hatchet is perhaps the most useful tool in your survival arsenal. It has sharp and blunt ends. Close quarters combat with zombies is not ideal, but having a hatchet is better than nothing.

If your dwelling cannot be fortified, then you have one choice: RUN! The ultimate goal of being on the run is to find a stronger position. The key is to stay light and move at a moment's notice. This is what you will need:

Hatchet - Again, the hatchet is perhaps the most useful tool in your survival arsenal. It has both sharp and blunt ends. Either side can be used for Z-fence. The cutting side will be used to remove stairways or cut firewood, and the blunt end can be used as a hammer. The hatchet should be at the top of the survival list.

Remember, this list is the minimum, and only for short-term survival. The key is to have this on hand when the dead rise and hunger for your brain. I would recommend Sportsman's Warehouse as your Zombie Apocalypse supplier. They seem to be the only one taking this seriously. The undead will come. Ask yourself, are you ready?
